“Come on, Dad! Jump in the hot spring with us!”
We waved him over, splashing happily in the steaming pool. But there he stood — arms crossed, head shaking, firmly planted on the edge, refusing to budge.

After endless coaxing, the truth finally slipped out:
“My belly’s too big. It looks bad.”

What?!
“Dad, look around! Those uncles over there have even bigger bellies, and they’re soaking it up without a care!”
But no. Dad stayed grumpy, eyebrows furrowed, convinced that his belly was a giant wall blocking his happiness.

That trip lit a fire under him.
The moment we got home, he launched a full-on transformation:
Morning jogs. Pre-meal walks. Post-meal stretches. Plates piled with veggies, clean and light meals.
Even his hair — though silvering — had to stay neat, stylish, and gentlemanly.

In less than a month, compliments rained down like confetti:
“Wow, you look amazing!”
“You’ve got the glow of someone twenty years younger!”

Walking through the neighborhood, Dad moved like a runway model — light on his feet, beaming with confidence, radiating charm like a local celebrity.

Here’s the truth: Time spares no one. But beauty? It doesn’t have to bow to age.
Who says you can’t care about your looks just because you’re older?
Looking good isn’t about pleasing others — it’s about feeling free, feeling good in your own skin.

Sure, time leaves its marks on our skin, but elegance? That’s etched deep in the heart.
Real charm has nothing to do with age — it’s all about your spirit.

Until my father passed away, I never saw his concerned belly again.
